Bestevaer 53 M/Y

The Adventurer’s Ship

     Designed by world-renowned sailor and naval architect Gerard Dijkstra, Bestevaer yachts combine high performance with gorgeous functionalist design in aluminium. What makes Bestevaers so unique is that they can be sailed single-handedly in the toughest conditions.

     By setting the bar in unrestricted sailing, it is no wonder that Bestevaer has become the boat of choice for sailing fanatics, explorers, scientists, and adventurers of all kinds.

     Based on the very same design principles of its sailing sisters, the M/Y 53 marks the beginning of an exciting new era for KM Yachtbuilders and a legendary family of yachts.

The Craftmen’s Ship

     Lightweight, strong, maintenance-free, environmentally friendly and incredibly good-looking. It is with good reason that aluminium has been our material of choice since day one. With 75 custom-built ships to our name and decades of experience and expertise, KM Yachtbuilders is commonly regarded as one of the world’s leading builders for aluminium yachts up to 100 feet.

     We stand for exceptional quality, which is why all our ships are built in-house by our own craftsmen. As one of the few complete shipyards left in the world, we hold all boat-building disciplines under one roof. Construction, interior, outfitting - each department its own expertise. Each expertise its very own specialists.

Bestevaer 53 M/Y

     Introducing the Bestevaer 53 M/Y, a one-of-a-kind motor yacht that perfectly blends functionalist design with understated elegance. With its classic clean lines, the M/Y 53 maximizes the beauty of aluminium through simplicity. Choose your destination, comfortably go wherever you want to go. From the Arctics to the tropics — and any city, island or inlet you’ll discover in between.

     Become one with nature. Sit back. Experience true comfort wherever you may be. The interior of the Bestevaer 53 M/Y is inspired by Scandinavian design and brings you a refined sense of luxury and well-being. Tactile, quality natural materials such as brushed oak, Danish wool and Swedish leather. The many windows bring in beautiful light. And there’s space, space for you to be. You are here. On the water, at home.

     On-deck Comforts

• Easy Access - Move around freely. We’ve created a practically one level yacht with extra wide gangways. The side doors in the bulwark and pilot-house ensure easy access on and off board

• Fender Storage - On both starboard and port side, you’ll find hatches especially designed for storing fenders. No more tripping over bulky fenders, but a nice and tidy deck instead
